I hope they work better for you than me.  Looks like you have the 55" 
version of my 47".  I could never get the perfect modeline, so I gave up 
and just decided to live with the slight overscan.  It doesn't shimmer 
or anything so this may help you.  Also, I went into the service menu 
and tweeked a couple of things.  Google for Samsung HCL5515W service 
menu.  Make sure you write down all your existing settings before 
messing with them if you decide to.  I don't really recommend it.  I 
didn't get that much of an improvement.  Here are the relevant portions 
of my config:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Samsung"
